messiah complex

But what is the inverse of that equation?

The Messiah Complex.

Yes.

What happens when infinite power is acquired by someone who knows exactly how they want to use it? Someone who looks at the chaos, the pain, and the free will of the universe and decides that they alone possess the moral clarity to fix it.

He didn't want to destroy the universe.

He sincerely wanted to be its savior.

That is the essence of the Messiah Complex, the absolute conviction that your omniscience grants you the supreme moral authority to violently enforce a utopia.

He believed that the only way to achieve universal peace was for every living organism to be subservient to his singular will.

my signature electricity and so that that that kind of like that energy is very different i mean similar to the way that i've thought you know self-press sexual and sexual self-press are similar they are not they're not no

i even think um david had said with sexual social it's like a messiah complex and you know russell brand who's sexual social literally in the title literally literally did a comedy tour or whatever called like the messiah complex or something and it's just like oh my god like yeah

yeah let me let me save all that uh let's get to the examples because we have a lot people don't realize how life-changing of an insight it was to discover that people's instincts were in the art that they were making

I know, that's crazy.

All the genre switches of identity.

He used to be a comedian, and he had a tour where you...

The Messiah Complex, and now he's...

X-Men Messiah Complex comes out in 2007 as well.

One of my favorite events of all time.

I don't believe it yeah you don't believe it No, I don't believe it.

I remember back in the day when, like right before Messiah Complex, I believe Cable died.

And I remember hearing people being like, like writers being like, nope, he's dead.

He's dead.

You know? Is it going to be a straight no? Hard no right away? Or what?

My Messiah complex would be like, ah, okay.

So you would, yes.

You need a job?

Okay.

Even if he's not earning much.

And then I would, I don't know, I would, the Messiah Complex would be like, do you need a job? I think I know people who are looking for certain jobs.

Okay, okay, okay.

Yeah.

I loved the new X-Men comics, and like the whole Messiah Complex story, and they were a part of that, so.

I loved all the little cameos that they brought into it, too.

Pretty fun.

I enjoy the story because like you, I love the new X-Men.

I love the Academy X kids.

I love the Messiah complex that leads into Second Coming.

I love every part of that.
